Welcome to the May 2 issue of the Big List of Book Giveaways, which I post on Sundays in conjunction with The Sunday Salon. I’ve gathered together another nice big list this week – the giveaways are sorted into categories so that you can see what giveaways correspond to your reading interests. I begin compiling this post on Mondays, so the giveaways are listed in each category in the order in which I happen to find them. Ending dates are also included, and eligibility restrictions, if I see any.
This book giveaways round-up post is a regular feature here at MsBookish so if you’re holding a book giveaway, let me know and I’ll include your giveaway in my next giveaways round-up post. I’ve discovered a lot of fabulous giveaways and hope you’ll be able to make full use of this list, too. If you’re on Twitter, I’d love it if you could help spread the word by tweeting this post!
And if you like, cruise around here at Ms. Bookish and comment on a post or two – readers who comment on any post this month will be entered into my own May Giftaway.
Because this post turned out to be quite long, I’ve posted it in two parts. Fiction giveaways are on this page. Non-fiction giveaways are in this post.

Thanks for mentioning my give away and I’m glad to hear that you like my blog name, The Homeschooler’s Guide to the Galaxy :-)
Thanks for the great and convenient list! I really needed something new to read… I just finished reading “Cornfield Heiress” by Errollynne Peters- a very exciting and touching book, and need something to fill the void of not having anything exciting to read now. I think I will check out “A Hopeless Romantic”- I am a sucker for a good romance novel.
Thank you Ms. Bookish for linking to Wishing Penny! Be on the look out. I’ll have a giveaway for the Velveteen Principles book set coming soon.
